So, I got curious about this whole NASCAR number 16 thing. You know, who’s been driving it and all that. I wanted to get my head around it, so I started digging.
First off, I just went and searched around online. Just a basic “who is nascar number 16” kind of search. I found a few pages with driver lists and stats, like past and present drivers of the number 16 car, you know? And I figured this was a good starting point. They also had race results and a whole bunch of info on the drivers who’ve been behind the wheel of the number 16 car in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Then I looked into this other thing about the history of the number 16 car. Seems like there’s a countdown to the Daytona 500, and some guy named Tom Jensen did a write-up about the history of the number 16 in NASCAR. I was like, “Okay, that’s pretty neat.” So I noted it down.
- Started with a basic web search.
- Found driver lists, stats, and race results.
- Noted down a history piece by Tom Jensen.
I also read somewhere that drivers and car numbers are like, a big deal in NASCAR. Like, they’re practically connected at the hip when it comes to identity. It got me thinking about who’s gonna be paired with which car this season.
And here’s where it got interesting. I came across this report by some guy named Jordan Bianchi from The Athletic, dated October 3, 2022. This report said that A.J. Allmendinger has been driving the number 16 car part-time. Apparently, he’s also been driving Kaulig’s number 16 Xfinity Series car full-time. So, I went and jotted that down too.
- Drivers and car numbers are a big deal in NASCAR.
- Found a report about A.J. Allmendinger driving number 16 part-time.
Then I found another tidbit saying that all 36 chartered entries for the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season have at least one confirmed driver. It made me think, “Wow, they’ve really got things sorted out.”
Wrap-Up
So, after all this digging, I got a way better picture of who’s been driving the NASCAR number 16 car. And it was pretty cool to see how much history and stuff is tied to these car numbers. I felt like I really accomplished something today.
It’s kinda like piecing together a puzzle, you know? You start with a few random pieces of information, and then you put them together and see the bigger picture. That’s what today felt like, and I am glad I could figure it all out in the end.
